#oops guess you ARE psychic

[raisinchallah]

sorry my evil take is i actually think the most likely show to do a planet of gays episode would be enterprise like they have a track record of some really bad embarrassing lgbt metaphor episodes under their belt and actually my biggest evidence for them doing something like this is the almost unwatchable episode bound where theyre like surprise this is a sexy matriarchy exact energy they would take to a planet of gays episode and it would be worse than bound i didnt put my best foot forward imagining this episode to everyone in the post so i shall try again because i do actually think it could happen so anyways they go near this random planet and t’pol is like dont go there the vulcans have labelled them no contact due to their strange and fucked up ways but archer is like we dont listen to the vulcans lol lets beam down and so archer t’pol trip and reed end up on planet gay and everyones at first having a lovely time tho slightly weird theyre hanging out with governor speedo and his sexy half naked entourage of men and archer asks we would love to meet your wife and the governor is appalled and is like you think i would flaunt such a disgusting lifestyle like this dont tell me your people are .... heteros and archer is like wow oops but on my planet we think your lifestyle is kind of weird i guess thats cultural relativism for you and t'pol is like wow captain archer you have really grown and matured anyways despite the various faux pas everything goes about smoothly and theyre invited to beam down for shore leave on the planet trip and malcolm decide to go bar hopping and keep getting grossed out at all the men who keep hitting on them and make a few rude homophobic jokes they leave the bar but theyre cornered in an alley by a strange man whos like i saw how you looked at those men i understand you are like us you understand us youre... straight and ask for asylum on the enterprise and this group of random aliens in denim (as opposed to the planets lycra only dress rules) and theyre brought back to the ship one of the straight refugees would of course start to fall for trip and he would be like oh but you see im already committed and shes like oh of course how silly of me to think you could support my disgusting sinful lifestyle who is he and then trips like no i mean t'pol and shes like wow.. you live so openly and brazenly despite how wrong our love is you are my hero and hes like what in most of the galaxy its the gay people who are weird and the straight refugees are like wow... you are so brave on this stupid planet its like gay is straight and straight is gay and everyone is required to wear sequins and have dyed hair you are required to listen to disco... we just want the freedom to have a beer by the lake and listen to country music like any good heterosexual and trips like wow i understand you completely this is just like when the vulcans...

t'pol would do diplomacy with the soon to be revealed as evil lesbian faction but talks break down when they realize due to her psychic sensitivities and studio required rock solid heterosexuality she is completely immune to their ambient gay mist in the air that is revealed to be the source of gay majority on the planet she fails to communicate this to the crew quickly enough tho and the viewer is subjected to some deeply embarrassing and unwatchable sequences as the various cast start acting comically gay due to the saturation of gay chemicals building up in their systems when t’pol tries to explain this to captain archer he says dont worry about it darling and winks this is a sign he has fallen prey to the gay chemicals and has now also become gay she returns to the ship to talk with phlox who is like well you know being gay can be normal but forcing everyone to be gay via mind control like this is fairly unethical they have a meeting with the straight refugees who explain theyre all straight because of a mutation making the gay chemicals not work on them which has made them extreme social outcasts but phlox thinks if he studies their genome he can figure out how to create a gay vaccine to return the planet to its normal hetero state which t’pol orders to be released into the atmosphere because archer has been spotted in a speedo and the time for diplomacy is over once the planet has been re heterofied it comes out a small shady group of gays decided to hijack the government and turn the whole planet gay as part of a sinister plot but now the straights are freed and no longer misunderstood and they will now open their planet up to negotiations with other worlds now that they dont have to hide the existence of heterosexuality the dominant and normal way of being in the universe from their populace they get a few last homophobic jokes in about their behavior on the planet before the ship blasts off nobody likes the episode and its never rebroadcast

Oops second ask related to your au. What do fulgrim and ferrus get up too in their down time? Hehehe.

Im imagining konrad falling from a hole in the ceiling mouth stuffed full of gigantic rats landing right in the middle some celebratory luncheon that malcador has tried to organise.

never apologize for oc/personal au asks this is like me catnip.

going to do these backwards:

this sounds completely plausible (konrad does pop up in places he is absolutely not supposed to be frequently and with great enthusiasm)

except malc isn’t around (yet). however, there is another hooded perpetual with weirdly strong psychic powers wandering the palace. this isn’t great for emp’s mental state but who said any of this was great for emp’s mental state.

now that first question. the short answer is ferrus and fulgrim at least start the au by being firmly On Vacation

ferrus and fulgrim, once they’ve spent some time working things out between themselves generally just kinda. hang around? they’re slowly working on undoing the damage they did to their respective legions, kind of leading the charge for emotional rehab here like ‘ok there’s got to be a way to learn these lessons without Dying Horribly. right.’ they are preoccupied with this for much of the plot, in part because unlike most of the other Primarchs, Fulgrim in particular (and Ferrus by virtue of sticking close by to him) is Not Allowed to interact with Juno. At All.* (*until she’s older). In fact he’s top of The List (which is a thing that does exist). (this could be the subject of a whole nother post however, so i digress)

Fulgrim is actually quite upset by this; he’s put some degree of effort into repairing his relationship with Ferrus, and wishes gman would afford him the same opportunity. gman said i don’t owe u shit, which he’s right about, and though fulgrim understands this that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it. especially when it means he’s effectively out of the running for ‘baby niece’s favoritestest coolest most spoil you rotten uncle’ like forever (don’t feel too bad fulgrim. you’ll never guess who juno’s favorite is. none of you ever stood a chance.)

luckily fulgrim has other children to occupy his time.

N’kari was really important to fulgrim post-fall, as a touchstone and companion. The two were still very close even though they had not seen each other for some time at the start of this au, so when N’kari has an unsanctioned hybrid clutch with a khornate daemon and is panicking about it he goes straight to his bestie who uses his imperial-green-card-by-marriage to shelter him from the two angered deities.

So aside from their legions, Fulgrim and Ferrus’ downtime is largely occupied with assisting N’kari and Skarbrand raise their menace twin girls: Deimos and Phobos! They are somewhere between 7-10 years younger than Juno, and idolize her greatly, though she mostly knows them as these annoying kids who follow her around while she’s exploring the warp in her early twenties. Anyway that’s where all of Fulgrim’s ‘childless lesbian double income auntie at christmas’ energy goes; he spoils those brats rotten.

🖤ni-ki boyfriend headcannons🖤

(will continue adding onto it tbh)

🧸denies it if asked but is a SUCKER for affection (i.e. cuddles, kisses, etc.)

doesn't display much pda, to the point where some may not even guess that you two are dating. as soon as you two get home, he's back hugging you, burying his face in the crook of your neck inhaling your scent, and begging you for attention

🧸has a thing for his partner being shorter than him ( I don't make the rules )

as a playful kid, this would be his perfect opportunity to tease you and overall just get on your nerves ( thinks you're the cutest when you're sulky). I also see him as very protective (non-toxic, 'wear what you want, I can fight' type) so you being shorter than him will just fuel that agenda

🧸will 100% spoil you

you like a hoodie in his closet? it's yours

sees an article of clothing that reminds him of you while you're out? here's the receipt just in case it doesn't fit (it will, he knows you all too well)

will get sulky if you choose the cheapest food item on the menu

even if it's not financially, he stills spoils you (with attention, affection, etc etc)

you just want a hug? be prepared to stay in that position with him in your arms for a good few hours

basically: what y/n wants, y/n gets

🧸is the type to baby you (either to show his love or tease you (or both))

if you're with riki, be prepared for him to coo at everything you do, no matter what it is. or have him baby talk you when he thinks you're being too cute. is also the type to feed you just to see your reaction

taking 'his baby' to a whole new level

🧸without a doubt has partner privilege

the members can baby him or tease him and he'll get all defensive about it. but when you do it, he gives in and has quite possibly the dumbest smile on his face. allows himself to be coddled like the baby he is, essentially

🧸into neck kisses

don't ask me why, my psychic senses are tingling with this one. he's definitely the type to hug you from behind or have you sat on his lap and just bury his face in the crook of your neck for warmth. also is a sucker for receiving them (will melt). it's a plus if you're ticklish cuz that makes another reason why he should kiss you there 🤷‍♀️

🧸gives you literal heart eyes (even when you're not looking)

when he loves someone, he's the type to show it, intentional and subconsciously. you can be talking and he'll just have the stupidest smile on his face giving you his full, undivided attention. also is very much the type to stare at your lips as you speak. you can be having a disagreement over something miniscule and he'll wait for you to finish speaking so he can just pull you into a kiss and see you all flustered

"you're so adorable when you're mad, princess"

🧸your parents LOVE him more than you oop

if you're from a culture that isn't his, he'll literally try to learn the language or some greetings to leave a good impression on your family. brings fruits, flowers, whatever cultural greeting gift it is: he's got it

is the type to feed into your mom's bragging and beg her to show him albums of your baby pics😒

LOVES sports so your dad will actually adopt him as his son

at the end of the day, your parents will scold you for not being good enough for him 'cause how is a man so perfect???/jj

Trinity Blood episode 4:

Oh yeah the solar powered cannon on the moon. Sure. We've all been there.

He put Esther in the ugliest dress known to man for some reason? I don't really understand why. It might be his wife's? Costume change necessary for blowing up the Vatican, I guess, but only for Esther.

When Abel is like "oh no, revenge solves nothing!" and the guy who runs Hungary is like, "Don't be ridiculous. Who would want revenge to solve anything?" We must at least admit that he's onto something. Making stuff better is definitely not the point of this exercise.

Did Abel like, forget he has magic powers here somewhere? He just sits there tied in his chair like: oh dear, what do I do! (Perhaps he is not meant to show his transformation to others, but if so, murdering the three people in this house is still the lesser evil compared to letting them blow up the city... But I suppose he seems to be a moral absolutist despite killing quite a lot of other characters.)

Oop, Dietrich really upped his eyelash game between"dying" and appearing in holographic mode to gloat about, uh, subverting the solar powered cannon on the moon. The Rosen Kreuz Order he claims to represent is presumably of no actual relation to either Rosicrucianism or to the Rosen Kreuz psychic assassin guys from Weiß Kreuz: Glühen.

TRES-KUN IS HERE. ♡

How do anime men manage to hurl entire women (and all their giant clothes) aside with a grip on just one arm. It's like a whole phenomenon.

Oooh, Abel got stabbed. That was never going to end well. Oh, he took his glasses off. HE HAS WINGS. How cute!!

Oh, a little dismemberment. As a treat.

Oh my god are you telling me this whole problem goes away when Abel just goes "Hello, computer, can you please stop? I promise I'm the specialest boy."

Gyula died. Hmm. Okay.

Where's Tres-kun??? Show me Tres-kun. He's really doing so much heavy lifting for me in this series. No more teary girls! Bring me Tres-kun!

If he dies or is secretly not an android I may instantly lose interest.

I felt bad about having literally nothing ready for Silver week 2024, so I dragged this from the depths of my very being this evening, haha. Dreams of an Absolution mentions that every night Silver lays awake, and that is what gave me the inspiration for this fic. Hope you enjoyed!🍀

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Day 1: Dreams

A snippy “Sonic, wake up!” isn’t what Sonic likes to hear when getting roused from a comfortable nap.

It’s not the first time this has been said, he thinks. There’s been more of such demands around him, as have been some pushes. Maybe. The speedster has ignored them all, floating through his sweet dreams as he is-

Until his entire body is given a shake, somehow, and that doesn’t make much sense.

With a grumble the speedster opens one eye to glare at his disruptor. It’s a glare returned in kind: Silver’s crossed arms and bristling quills speak of plentiful irritation on the psychic’s side, as does the way Sonic gets dropped onto the ground again. But neither is anything new with Silver, Sonic’s still-half-asleep brain promptly decides, and thus he stretches with an elaborate yawn. This calm field of flowers between swaying grasses and white cotton clouds in the blue sky above do not lend themselves for hastiness and irritations.

“Something the matter?” he nods back at Silver after multiple seconds, in which Silver’s dry annoyance has grown tenfold.

“Yes," gets huffed back. "I’ve been trying to wake you for ages. Tails needs you, but he couldn’t reach you on your Miles Electric. And I went out to search for you because I thought something had happened, only to find you asleep in a field of flowers while refusing to get up?!”

Between that complaint Sonic has long jumped right to his feet, any thoughts about the calmness of flowers, grasses, clouds and skies forgotten.

“Oops,” he decrees, snatching the device in question and sheepishly studying the multiple missed calls on it. Yes, Tails had been talking extensively about a new invention he was going to test one of these days, and apparently the fated moment would have been hours ago. Not nice of him to let his pal hanging like that, Sonic admonishes himself. He’d best go there immediately to make up for it. “My bad. The flowers in this Zone are really nice to sleep in,” he offhandedly mentions to Silver, tucking the Miles Electric away again. “Still, thanks for waking me. Let’s go to Tails’.”

A shake of Silver’s head that Sonic would describe as rather judgemental is his response, the other turning on his heels and stalking away. “Tails already said you’d probably be in dreamland, since you didn’t respond,” gets called out over a grey-furred shoulder, Sonic laughing at that.

“He knows me too well. Yep, I was.”

“It’s the middle of the day.”

“So?”

“Dreaming is for late at night. If you're doing it during the day, you should at least be awake. Daydreaming isn't done while sleeping,” Silver states firmly, shaking out his bristling quills as a softer look forms on his face. He always looks more sunny like that, Sonic thinks every time he sees it. This time there’s even a little smile reserved for him. “But I’d been trying to wake you for a while already,” the psychic adds with a little snort. “It was impossible. You whined at me a couple of times, even.”

A full laugh slips past Sonic’s lips at the tease. “Did not.”

“Did so. Heard it myself.”

“That’s hardly proof,” Sonic winks back at him. “Besides, you can’t blame me for having nice dreams. I was flying through space and past galaxies, that’s far too neat to be woken up from so brusquely. Don’t you think?”

Pensively Silver rubs his chin. “That does sound nice. I guess dreaming of flying is quite special if you can’t fly normally?”

“I know what flying is like,” the speedster responds; he’s turned Super enough times for that to not be a mystery for him anymore. But it does leave him wondering… “You’re making it sound like you never dream the day away, heh. So what do you dream about?” he inquires, kicking into a brisk jog as Silver floats beside him into the air.

Silver’s brow furrows. “Why do you want to know?”

“Just curious. If flying in your dreams doesn’t faze you, then what does? What kinds of marvellous thoughts occupy your dreams?” Sonic smiles back; just something to fill the time between them on the journey back to Tails’ workshop, a few Zones over. And he doesn’t know the answer to his question anyway. He knows it from a lot of his friends: Amy dreams of him, she’s always been quite obvious about that, and Rouge dreams of gemstones, Knuckles of things around Angel Island, the Chaotix of money…

But what about Silver?

The almost staggeringly long silence that follows is rather suspicious, however.

“It’s nothing spectacular,” eventually breaks it, as does a deep sigh. “It’s just… things about the past, or the future.”

That doesn’t sound like sweet dreams, Sonic promptly decides. If they were, Silver would be more forward about it. “Nightmares?” he opens the opportunity for elaboration, though Silver slowly shakes his head at that.

“Not really… I just think a lot before I fall asleep, and then I’m so tired I don’t really dream that much anymore. It's not daydreaming because they're not nice thoughts, but...”

“You can't sleep because of it,” Sonic fills in. He’d add an inquiry if Silver is overthinking, and about what precisely, but he knows well enough that prodding doesn’t always go over well with his hot-headed friend. Yet, leaving the topic unmentioned otherwise doesn’t sit well with him either… “Silver, if you can’t sleep because you’re thinking too much, you can come to one of us,” he adds, giving the other a gentle nudge with his elbow. “We don’t mind, really. We’re here to help each other.”

Silver for his part only shrugs. “You will have to be with me every night, then. It's always the same thing."

“And that’s okay. We want to be, if it’ll make your dreams better.”

“I’ll think about it,” gets hummed back; the final thing said as Sonic’s brisk jog turns into a full run and Silver rushes beside him in silence.

Amidst Tails’ teasing about Sonic being a sleepyhead once the duo has returned to his workshop and extensive playing around with the new contraption Tails had wanted to try Sonic almost forgets what he and Silver have talked about, over the hours that the afternoon lasts still. But when the sun has sunk into the horizon and Sonic has crashed onto Tails’ couch after seeing his brother off to bed, a shuffle at the door makes his ears twitch.

He doesn’t need to open his eyes to know it’s Silver tiptoeing into the living room, with quiet breaths and softer footsteps.

Silver's eyes burn into him, the hairs on Sonic's spine prickling at the sensation. His friend stands frozen... but eventually the footsteps resume, until a weight sinks down at the very edge of the sofa's pillows. That golden stare is on Sonic still, but the speedster doesn't twitch a single quill in response, and eventually, slowly, Silver scoots closer. A lithe weight drops against Sonic's knees, small shuffles and minute movements following until Silver's tucked himself away into a little half-ball...

He’s close enough for Sonic to stretch out a hand and discreetly run his fingers over Silver’s.

The weight against his legs tenses immediately, but Sonic stays quiet. Silver doesn’t want him to talk or ask anything, he knows. But the quiet I’ll be with you is present between them: an assurance from Sonic’s side, and an acceptance from Silver’s.

And that’s how they lay, until Silver’s body has relaxed again and the other has finally, finally drifted off after the better part of an hour, Sonic refusing to let sleep claim him until his friend’s breaths have deepened and his usually-guarded face has softened like it had this afternoon.

“Have sweet dreams,” Sonic whispers into little grey ears, before turning around and sinking into them himself, with Silver’s breaths quiet but even as the speedster’s world becomes black too.

Do you think Rachel knows about LO rekindled? Or that she could've secretly been reading your comics? 👀

I mean, I think people think I want her to know about it, I know that's a common criticism made of it that I made Rekindled to like, "get Rachel to notice me", but like... y'all there's a reason I only post it to Tumblr and mirror it on Dillyhub (when I remember to actually upload pages there oop-), I stay off Rachel's turf over on Webtoons and on other major webtoon platforms because I don't feel entitled to Rachel seeing Rekindled and frankly I just don't want that kind of attention lmao That's just bad energy I don't want to invite, I already feel like I'm pushing the limit of what's "okay" with some of the criticisms I have here and Rekindled as a whole. I get enough back-of-the-head punches from her fanbase as it is LMAO

If I wanted Rachel's attention, you'd see me in her IG comment section with the rest of the "haters" asking her why she's spending more time working on memes than on her comic or tagging her in my posts or, at minimum, using the #lore olympus tags which I'm sure you've noticed I also don't do ! and generally ask people not to do when sharing Rekindled :' ) (I've actually gotten her attention in the past that way, back when I still loved the comic and I did that LO tattoo that she retweeted which was neat for about 15 seconds lol)

Don't get me wrong, I still talk plenty of shit, but I try my best to keep it in my own house because I'm not entitled to Rachel's attention or time, she's clearly doing what she wants to do and I'm doing what I wanna do, we're each in our own house, managing our own lawns. Sure, I might be that weird neighbor who's side-eyeing her through the window blinds and talking shit about her very loudly from my kitchen, but it's completely on her - at her own risk - if she chooses to listen in, just like how it's completely on me to read LO at my own risk of taking psychic damage LMAO

If she is reading Rekindled then idk, I hope she enjoys it I guess? But I totally don't blame her if she doesn't like it, the fact that one of her assistants have blocked me despite us never interacting definitely gives me the sense that she does know about it to some degree. And there have been uh... signs...

BUT those are just hoof beats so I'm not gonna go chasing zebra's, what's more likely is that she's literally just minding her own business drawing her comic and trying to get her finale sorted out. Don't mention Rekindled in her comment sections if you can help it, don't be obnoxious with sharing it in the LO-focused spaces, leave well enough alone so I can keep making this for the people who it's made for, that's all I ask :' ) <3

[ask-postcrash-curly]

Hey, uh, Curly? Kestrel again. Hoping the rescue team's doing good by you guys, and such. Glad you finally made it off of that asteroid. Uh... Look, I don't know if it's a good time to talk to you yet with all that going on but it's kind of making me a little anxious holding onto all these thoughts since I'm going to be leaving Mom's house soon to go back to school and I don't know if this "psychic link" thing is going to hold out once I do. So uh, yeah. Um. If you don't mind. I just wanted to, uh.

...

Shit, we're going fuzzy now. Where'd I leave my...? Hold on. My notes. My nooootes. Fuck where did I leave them again. Proooo-bably in my room. Yup. Duh. Okay, anyway. Uh—

About the other day, I'm uh... I'm sorry about all of that. For real. I just, uh... I think it just really caught me off guard, what... what Ting said. I was in the middle of trying to write a paper and it was super late, so uh... it was a kneejerk reaction, I guess. But I am in college, it's not like I've never heard bad jokes before... but people do always say I don't know how to take a joke to begin with. Or, uh, "flirting," I guess. It's just still, uh... I don't know what to make of all this noise. It reminds me of being back in high school, in a way. Really hard to tell what is or isn't— between backhanded comments and fakeout invites, it's uh, hard for me to tell what is or isn't genuine most of the time. And I can't speak for uh, what happened there, but... you don't seem like the kind of guy that would do that to me. Or anyone else, really. I don't think Mom would like you very much if you were, haha. (Mm. Bad. Bad joke.)

Oh, and uh, I did talk to her after that, too. (It was really embarrassing.) She told me about - you didn't know, yeah. I really shouldn't have said that, man. I'm sorry. I think I'm better at talking than thinking, it's so hard to control what does or doesn't pop up like that, you know? I'm not used to other people being able to... hear my unfiltered brain. Not sure how much I like it, if I'm being honest. But anyway, uh, I'm trying. Seems like I have a talent for making people think I have something against them when really I'm just... I don't know. Never know what to say when it's not, uh, already scripted out, I guess. (It's in the notes. In the notes.) So... you didn't do anything wrong. Hell, you stuck up for me, man, that's... that's uh, hard to come by when you're a Warbler, you know? People used to call Gramma "crazy" a lot. (Don't ever say that word around Mom, alright? She really hates it.) I'd have to be pretty vapid to hold that against you. Which uh, I would like to think that I'm not that kind of person... Besides, it would be kind of awkward if we weren't uh, weren't cool when Mom wants to take y— oop. (Shutupshutup!)

And, uh, if you can also hear me, Ting...? Sorry for freaking out on you, too. I'm still not uh, not really comfortable with that kind of thing, (no offense), but uh, yeah. Yeah. Really fucked up for me to compare you to Jimmy like that. You're just like, a guy, seems like. Maybe a little edgy for me. But uh, like I said, kneejerk reaction. I'm not really used to anyone thinking I'm uh... attractive, I guess...? Oh, wait, but you were joking, right? Uh... well, doesn't really matter, I think. Again, really sorry.

So... yeah. That was uh, that was it, really. Hope that wasn't too much for you right now, I know you're uh, kind of going through it. I just didn't want to... leave it all at that. In case this is the last you hear from me for a while, or something. Totally get it if you think I'm a stick in the mud, though. I get that a lot, aha.

You know, uh... hearing everyone that came to try and console you while you were scared...? That was... nice. Kind of surprised me, really, what with all the uh, assholes and whatnot. I'm uh, I'm glad you've got friends out there, at least. I think I'm starting to get why Mom is so attached to this uh... this whole thing, now. So... even if you can't hear me anymore, or uh, vice versa, I'll still be out there rooting for you guys. And uh, trying to keep myself convinced that this wasn't all some crazy hallucination or something. (Oh shit. Hope Mom didn't hear that one.)

Oh, yeah! You asked me if I preferred Kez or Kestrel before and I never answered, huh? I guess, uh... I never actually thought about it. Mom and Tabitha call me Kestrel, except when Tabi's— uhhh. Nevermind. Just uh, just don't call me "Kezzie." Her friends call me Kez, though. I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but uh, I guess it stuck to my brain anyway. Just as long as nobody's making fun of me for it, right? Yeah.

Oh man, what am I going to tell her...?

Kestrel, hey, there you are. Well enough! Thank you. No, uh, it's fine. Don't see why you being at school should make a difference when I'm lightyears away though.

Hm...?

No, c'mon, don't apologize. Didn't do anything wrong. I reacted badly, that's all. I don't blame you at all. Completely fine reaction. I don't... I'll just say, I've got issues. So take my reactions with a grain of salt, yeah? Mm, think I get what you mean... People are bizarre sometimes. but i let it happen— I guess that makes sense... She's really forgiving though. Even wanted... Jimmy to make it.

I'm sorry, I... think I'm losing track of what we're talking about a bit...? What was embarrassing about that? I, uh... It's fine. I should have known anyways. And again, that was a fair reaction on your end. Nothing to be sorry for. if anything, I'm sorry for putting you in that position. Yeah, no, that takes getting used to. Hey, nope, you weren't the problem there. My mental state's been in shambles for ages, all right? And sometimes that means I take things in the worst way. Not your fault. You don't— I did the bare minimum there. That's not— Really? Fuck, I'm sorry. That... Everything I know about your family is incredibly endearing. Can't imagine why anyone would disagree. (Got it. Thank you. Is this... from the hospital...? You, uh, don't have to tell me. If you think she wouldn't want you to.) Listen, you've got the right to hold whatever against me you want, okay? Doesn't mean you're whatever sort of person. ...What was that?

...

Hey, c'mon. I'm always going through it. As far as "it" goes, this one could be a hell of a lot worse. And I appreciate this talk very sincerely. No, hey, why would I ever think that?! You get that a lot? Sounds like some people don't know what they're talking about and probably would be better off shutting the hell up. Just saying.

Some of them are assholes, sure, but... It's worth it. It's so, so much better than it was when I was alone. And most of them are kind, good people like you and your mum. Thank you, Kestrel. Means a lot.

So either, then...?

Morning Breeze

— [˚ʚ♡ɞ˚] Kazhua x black fem!reader

❥ [genre]➼ fluff

---

The morning light filters in through sheer curtains, painting the room in soft gold. For most people, it’s the promise of a new day, but for you, it means a battle with the alarm clock—and a likely defeat. Despite your best intentions, morning classes have always felt like a conspiracy against your natural sleep pattern.

Today, though, the air shifts gently, filled with the subtle scent of jasmine and green tea. There’s a lightness, a soft disruption—Kazuha.

“You should be up, or you’ll be late again,” his voice floats to you, melodious and calm. Not for the first time, you think how living with Kazuha is like cohabiting with a particularly considerate breeze. He moves through life gracefully, disturbing nothing and no one, yet somehow manages to set everything right.

“Five more minutes,” you mutter, the words muffled by your pillow. You hear a soft chuckle in response.

“That’s what you said twenty minutes ago.”

The bed dips slightly as he sits down beside you, the mattress barely protesting under his slight frame. You feel a gentle hand on your shoulder, shaking you awake. Resigning yourself to the inevitable, you finally sit up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. Kazuha smiles at you, his eyes crinkling in amusement. His hair is tied back loosely, a few stray strands framing his face beautifully.

“Breakfast is ready. And I’ve laid out your clothes for the day. You should hurry.”

You groan softly but get up, trudging towards the bathroom. By the time you come out, feeling somewhat more human, you find a simple breakfast laid out on the small dining table. Kazuha, in his typical fashion, has prepared a healthy but delicious meal. Avocado on toast with a perfectly poached egg on top, and a cup of green tea steaming beside the plate.

“Thanks, Kazuha,” you say, genuinely grateful. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

He gives you a soft smile, then goes back to his book. You eat quickly, mindful of the ticking clock.

As you head back to your room to dress, you find the outfit he picked out for you: a comfy black sweater and high-waisted jeans, paired with your favorite sneakers. It’s simple but exactly what you feel like wearing.

“Kazuha, do you have some sort of psychic powers when it comes to my wardrobe?” you tease as you pull on the sweater. He looks up from his book, a glint of humor in his gaze.

“Just observant,” he replies. “And perhaps a bit lucky in guessing your mood.”

You laugh, shaking your head as you grab your bag and check its contents. Laptop, notebook, a couple of textbooks, pens, and—oops, almost forgot your phone charger. You toss it in, then zip the bag shut.

“Do I look okay?” you ask, turning to him. It’s a half-joke; Kazuha has never led you astray with his choices.

“You look perfect,” he assures you, and you know he means it. Kazuha isn’t one to speak just for the sake of filling silence. His words are always deliberate, meaningful.

Before you leave, he hands you a bento box. “Lunch,” he explains. “I know you have back-to-back classes till the afternoon.”

You smile, touched by his thoughtfulness. “You’re the best roommate ever, you know that?”

“I just don’t want you starving,” he says, but his eyes are warm.

You head out, but not before he calls after you, “Don’t forget your presentation today!”

Right. The presentation. How could you forget?

As you walk to campus, your mind runs through the points you need to cover. You’re nervous, but the breakfast and the knowledge that you’re well-prepared (thanks to countless practice sessions with Kazuha) soothe your nerves.

Your phone buzzes with a text from him just as you reach the building. Breathe. You’ll do great.

And somehow, you believe it. With Kazuha’s support, it feels like even the wind is at your back.

The presentation goes better than you expected. When you finally return to your apartment, you’re greeted by the comforting smell of something sweet baking and the soft strumming of a guitar. Kazuha is in the kitchen, and there’s a gentle melody floating from the living room.

“How did it go?” he asks, looking up as you drop your bag by the door.

“Better than I expected,” you reply, a grin breaking across your face. “I think I actually impressed them.”

“I knew you would.” He turns off the oven and pulls out a tray of chocolate chip cookies, his specialty.

You flop down on the couch, picking up his guitar. “Teach me something,” you request. “Something celebratory.”

He laughs, joining you on the couch, and takes the guitar. His fingers move deftly over the strings, showing you chord by chord. Music fills the space between you, a simple joy that wraps around your heart like a warm hug.

“You’re a good teacher,” you tell him after a few minutes, though your version sounds nothing like his.

“I have an excellent student,” he counters, and you stick out your tongue at him.

The evening fades into night, filled with music and laughter. And as you finally turn in, ready for another battle with the alarm tomorrow, you feel a profound gratitude. Kazuha has turned everyday moments into cherished memories, the mundane into something magical. 

Living with him isn’t just easy—it’s a gift, like finding calm in the chaos of your everyday college life. And as you drift off to sleep, you realize that this is what it means to be home. Not just a place, but a feeling—one that, thanks to him, you carry in your heart.

next up for ffvii character pokemon teams is our favorite local florist

unlike everyone else so far, I had double battles in mind for aerith's team. as always, though, I designed it mainly for the aesthetic and would never expect to win using this team lol. details under the cut

aerith is a recolor of an aroma lady sprite. it all works so perfectly. the skirt. the flower association. me being able to turn the aroma particles into lifestream

species: audino

ability: healer

item: focus band

moves: last resort, wish, heal bell, protect

this is depressing. oops! there's nothing super specific about the combination of audino and ifalna. audino is a healer pokemon and that just seems suited to aerith.

the item and moves, however, are deliberate choices for ifalna. focus band is not a good item to actually use, but it gives the holder a small chance to survive a hit (with 1 hp) that would otherwise defeat them. ifalna managed to survive long enough to get aerith down to the slums to safety even though she was on the brink of death. wish is a delayed healing move that will heal the active pokemon even if the one that used wish has fainted. the reason for last resort should hopefully be obvious.

species: tinkaton

ability: mold breaker

item: adrenaline orb

moves: fake out, gigaton hammer, play rough, protect

you know I had to.

while aerith has nothing to do with mold breaker's actual in-game effect, I thought this was fitting from the name alone. she generally is not associated with physical might.

the adrenaline orb doesn't mean a whole lot. I guess chairith happened during a stressful situation but that's really it.

fake out because of how aerith fooled scotch with her elaborate outfit, and then when he finally recognized her she kicked him in the nads and he couldn't move LMAO. gigaton hammer is, of course, the chair.

species: lilligant

ability: leaf guard

item: rose incense

moves: giga drain, pollen puff, solar beam, sunny day

flower pokemon #1! and a lily at that. named after aerith's ultimate weapon.

leaf guard obviously goes along with the name princess guard. it works well with sunny day. rose incense just strengthens grass type moves but it was nice and thematic.

giga drain is vaguely like aerith's soul drain ability. pollen puff is a fun one, because it deals damage to enemies and heals allies, just like how aerith is incredible with both white and black magic

species: blissey

ability: healer

item: mystic water

moves: psychic, chilling water, life dew, healing wish

great gospel is aerith's ultimate limit break, and it's absolutely bonkers. full heal, all status cured, temporary invincibility... it's also how she cures geostigma in advent children iirc. blissey because aerith is offering us a nice egg in this trying time. also blissey has some angel aesthetic going for it, and great gospel's animation includes angels.

the reason for the healer ability should be obvious. mystic water because great gospel fall as rain onto the team.

chilling water and life dew for the same reason as the mystic water, with the bonus that life dew is a healing move. healing wish is... well you're going to hate me for this, but it's a self sacrificing move that fully heals the next pokemon.

species: florges (yellow)

ability: flower veil

item: weakness policy

moves: moonblast, stored power, calm mind, synthesis

ok so. I don't think the planet is ever referred to as gaia in any of the games. but it would be weird to name a pokemon "planet," so gaia it is. I chose specifically yellow florges for aerith's flowers.

flower veil is obviously because of flowers.

weakness policy is a fun one. the planet starts throwing hands (aka weapons) when it's in danger.

moonblast and stored power felt appropriate for holy and when the lifestream itself stops meteor. calm mind because it seems like aerith needs to pray to really commune with the planet. synthesis because the lifestream is the source of life

species: xerneas

ability: fairy aura

item: power herb

moves: moonblast, focus blast, light screen, geomancy

xerneas is able to create life. it's not EXACTLY what holy does, but I felt like it was close enough among legendary pokemon.

moonblast, focus blast, and light screen are all chosen to represent holy as it looks at the end of the game. that's really it tbh.

next up should be nanaki! previous ones here

[lariyats]

something something my haikaveh pokemon au

the NOTES. for people who don’t have much knowledge of pokemon.

if you have NOT been linked here from the fic, the fic is here.

KAVEH’S TEAM

Pidgeot, Reuniclus, Mehrak (Porygon2)

ALHAITHAM’S TEAM

Braviary (Hisuian), Metagross, Pichu

they each have a big bird, a stage 2 psychic type and a baby (mehrak is a baby) bc they’re cringe and matchy matchy mirrors of each other. etc.

i forgor the brush i was using so that’s why they look different oops sawry

FAQ (but not really)

Q: why does alhaitham have a metagross?

A: ‘i’m just a feeble scholar’ headass. i wrote that not many ppl know he has one but after the coup this changes and everyone finds out. they both hate it

Q: mehrak porygon and not rotom?

A: yes. bc someone has to be! ancient artificial pkmn thats been a little bugged out from age etc. i think its funnier like this too (running joke)

+relationship chart if anyone's curious. ignore that its in the notes app i wrote it while i was on vacation.

protip: birds were picked on vibes (pokedex entries), psychic types on vibes but also how they can help with their day jobs (actually only kaveh) and their babies on both vibes and helpfulness (you can probably guess who). check the dex entries for more information. what can i say.

reshiram is the dragon of truth + zekrom is the dragon of ideals - why theyre paired with haitham and kaveh respectively should be self explanatory. i think.

not mentioned, but the other competitors teams.

in this au, the structure of the competition rounds is the same as canon, but they can also pick one pokemon partner to help them each round. battling is prohibited except for in the final round, where some is allowed for purposes of gaining the diadem. kaveh picked mehrak in all three rounds.

- faruzan and golurk

- layla and abra

- tighnari and breloom

& of course, wanderer and silvally, cyno and lucario, and nahida and shaymin! nahida also takes care of a 1% zygarde (a little squishy guy)

ENDING SCENE COMMENTARY

in my idea of hvkh. hthm is kind of a ‘and then i’ll keep these feelings inside until i die’ kind of guy but also not really. he knows he’s in love but he doesn’t want to say it out loud bc he also knows that saying it when kaveh isn’t ready for it could end badly.

so what he does is show it in other ways. he bickers like usual. he goes to pick him up from the tavern and pay his bill and take him home, take off his makeup and his accessories etc. making little accomodations for him that he wouldn’t for anyone else. that’s the kind of love that he shows.

kvh on the other hand is the …. hmmge…. dunno how to word it properly but the ‘if i let myself be loved then i let myself be known.’ kind of guy. or something. it’s not that he doesn’t return hthm’s feelings! or even not know what it means! but he doesn’t want to accept them for what they actually are bc… if he does, then it also means confronting the fact that someone actually Cares about him [jawdrop.jpg]. and that person is like. the most annoying person you have ever known but also like the only person who perfectly matches you beat for beat and makes you Feel. feelings. horrendous.

so bc of that i did Not actually choose to put in words the big L word . Yes they do Confess, but in the theme of things, it’s more Actions speak louder than Words. it is also more wow. both me and alhaitham would probably break out in hives if he straight up said it like that. i would much rather let the two of them be the ‘act’ and the ‘react’.

i also think that kaveh is someone who loves romantic gestures and even though what happened was romantic (kind of) lots of things happened that made it also. really weird. so while its p much acceptance of feelings he also wants to have a chance to properly convey things and have a heartfelt romantic dramatic speech etc. after he's prepared. that's the proper answer part.

it’s a tale of two idiots who both have acts of service as their giving love language but the extent to which their receiving (acts of service) differs. bc kaveh probably has receiving (words of affirmation) and haithams is. idk. receiving (knowing that the person he loves knows he is loved and that he is taking care of himself and knows his own worth). bc as cute as physical affection hc is it do think that it’s not really something he absolutely needs or wants. whoa i am rambling ok ill stop myself there for now. whew.

Lab UA and Supernatural elements AU

“I don’t want to accuse you of anything,” Taako starts, as the prelude to absolutely making a fucking accusation. “But I’ve been wondering about you.” 

“What about me?” Kravitz is short with him. He’s been snappity short with him every fucking day since the incident. Taako has been so on edge and working in the lab with him has been…difficult. There’s no good way to come out and ask if someone is a just a fucking vampire now. 

Especially not because Taako fucking knows he’s a vampire now, because he can smell it on him. Because Taako isn’t a human either. 

But you can’t just be like. Straight up are you a vampire? Don’t lie, cause my werewolf nose knows. 

Maybe he should have come into this armed a little better. 

“Uh,” Taako says. “About how you’re doing.”

“Fine,” Kravitz says. “Can we do unethical science now?” 

“Seriously? You’re fine??” 

“Fine enough to do work,” Kravitz says cooly. “Besides, how does it involve you?”

“I mean you’re my fucking lab partner, asshole, and I care about whether or not you’ve been exsanguinated!” 

Kravitz squints at him. Taako grits his teeth. 

“Look,” Taako says, beginning to count on his fingers. “I haven’t seen you bring one of those fucking Lean Cuisines since last Tuesday.” 

Kravitz winces. 

“And you turned the heat up so high in the lab you ruined my psychic mold, and you’ve worn a turtleneck every day for the last week, and-”

“Taako-”

“And you’ve been a real bitch to me! Like it’s my fucking fault!”

Kravitz’s face falls. 

“Taako, I- I don’t think it was. I- I guess I got wrapped up in my own head trying to…fix it…before anyone noticed, and…I’m sorry, I never wanted to make you feel responsible.” 

Taako’s on a roll now, though, oops! 

“Well, maybe you should! Cause I should have fucking stopped it! There shouldn’t have been a fucking vampire in my territory, and you got fucking bit, and now you’re mad at me, and my psychic mold is ruined, and-”

Kravitz blinks. 

“Your territory, Taako?” 

“Uh.” 

Kravitz squints at him. Taako takes two full steps backward, like maybe Krav’s baby vampire senses might still be garbled enough to not smell a werewolf right in front of him. 

The eye contact is so physically painful that Taako’s afraid his balls are going to fall right off and roll under the centrifuge. 

“Taako,” Kravitz says, like this is occurring to him for the first time. “Why do you care so much?” 

“Um,” Taako’s between a rock and a hard place, and both of them are radioactive. “I’m mad about the mold?” 

“No.” 

“No? You can’t tell me I’m not mad! It’s- who the fuck do you think you are-” Taako steps back again as Kravitz steps closer, and closer, and suddenly Taako’s back is to the locked door to the specimen chambers. Kravitz is so fucking close. And he smells weird, fresh vampire and all, but it’s hardly…bad. Taako’s just…not happy about it, is all. 

“Why were you gone on Tuesday?” Kravitz keeps forgetting to blink. Has he admitted it yet? Taako’s brain is eating this whole awful conversation. 

“Uh,” Taako says. “Fishing.” 

“You’re out of personal time. You took your adoptive nephew to see the wrestling.”

“Fuck me,” Taako sighs. “Why the fuck do you care about my personal time?” 

Kravitz finally blinks, and looks away, rubbing the back of his neck. 

“No reason.”

“Hey,” Taako smells an out. It’s a dangerous one. But, you know, you take what you can get. “Do you fucking like me?”

“What??” Kravitz can’t go greyer in the face now, but he looks like he ought to be. “I- You’re- we’re coworkers! I can’t be-” 

“You fucking like me!” 

“Well-! It takes one to know one, doesn’t it??” 

“What the fuck are you accusing me of?” 

“You KNOW,” Kravitz hollers, looking totally unbalanced. “I’ve really lost track!”

Taako looks at him. Kravitz looks right back, looking downright pitiful, and Taako just has to laugh. Kravitz chuckles softly. 

“You know, in our line of work,” he says, shaking his head. “I should have gotten the vampire insurance.” 

“Yeah,” Taako says solemnly. “Dunno if it would’ve done you any good, though. I still can’t prove to Farm Bureau that I’m a werewolf.” 

Kravitz’s eyes go wide. Taako may as well go in with the baseball bat, while everything’s all fucked anyway. 

“Do you think we can still kiss?”

Kravitz opens his mouth, and shuts his mouth, and opens it again. 

“You know,” he repeats, thoughtful, dazed. “I’d still like to try?”

shoutout to this fanart that made me wonder

Which species of dragons would our beloved huevos be?

(I'm going to use pokémon as base. Do not question. Also dragon and flying type are implicit on that oneKAKAK)

Alright, so!

RICHINHAS! already said in a stream that he wanted to hatch as a water dragon, and I think that's SO in character for him, while is SO ironic since he hates bath

PRINCESS SUNNY! I think it's kinda obvious but Sunny would fit a fire dragon sm. I mean, look at my girl. She would be flying around throwing fire balls at everything and burning everything down (do not blame her she's just a girl!!)

Also, nice time to say: I always thought abt Empy and Sunny as a sun and moon duo. Also, I think it just suits her and her personality a lot. So, yeah, Ice Empanada!!

Little Lullah! Well, she canonically attracts animals like the disney princess she is (source: QSMP wiki) and I always thought her as a nature dragon! But psychic as well!! Imagine her playing her flute or her maracas as the animals just follow her with curiosity.

Dapper!! Ghost and dark. Besides the obvious reasons, I think it's really funny he just scarying people around w/ the power of the grim reaper behold him

Our baby boy Ramón! Oh, well... I could say steel. But I also could say fighting. And electric. So... the three I guess?

Pomme: NOTRE LÉGENDE!! well, I always thought about Pomme as Ice type, like Empanada. But on the other side, Fighting and Fairy would be wholesome! (Also, because of Bad being her parent as well, she would be Ghost type too. But who knows!)

CHAY! OUR LITTLE WARRIOR!* (*Hey guys!! A nice soul told me that Chayanne said that he wanted to be a water dragon. (Also I JUST noticed the relation with the little duck float as well. Oops.)

LEO! LEONARDA! LEO BONITA!! I always saw Leo as a fire dragon, and now, I would add psychic as well!

PEPITUX!! I confess I thought a lot about the little one, But then, there you go! Water Pepito type! I guess Pepito clothing being canonically a sailor uniform helped me a bitKAKAKAKK

 춘식: I honestly don't know that much about that young man, but he gives me water and psychic vibes!

For now, that's it! Any doubt, ask away!!

[aita-blorbos]

AITA for just wanting to cure my prosopagnosia?

So, I (50M) have prosopagnosia. If you don't know what this is, it's a condition where you cannot recognise peoples' faces. It's always been quite a source of pain for me, and I've always wanted to be able to people's faces.

So I'm also a CEO, of a big pharmaceutical company. 9 years ago I used my power as a CEO to host an experiment using sibling pairs of psychic children, as I thought that perhaps it would be able to help me see faces. My hypothesis was that if we could induce information transmission under stressful circumstances, then maybe this mechanic could be used so that face information could be transmitted to me psychically, to make up for it.

So the children had to be in dangerous circumstances to access their psychic powers, so we hosted an escape room game where they all had the chance of blowing up if they weren't careful and also hosted it on a sinking ship so that they had a time limit. Additionally, we made sure to tell the children who were transmitting information to their siblings, while they weren't in much danger, that if they ruined it their siblings were going to drown. I guess technically we didn't actually have to put them in mortal peril and just let them believe it (especially considering they're children) but it just seemed easier at the time to genuinely kill them I guess.

Anyways, apparently, I didn't plan well enough, I don't see how this is my fault, but we accidentally had two pairs of siblings not separated, but instead in the same experiment location. So, this asshole cop (36M, at least at the time) came and tried to save the children and ruin my experiment, so to make sure it still went smoothly, I dragged one of the children (12F) off and threw her back into the incinerator. Now obviously, this didn't go well because her brother (15M) was in the same location and unable to transmit the answer to her, and oops, she did seem to burn to death in front of her traumatized brother!

Now, 9 years later I've been put into one of these games myself, and I have a feeling someone who's upset with me about the previous game is responsible. I can't tell because I don't recognize their faces, but this seems like a huge asshole move tbh, I don't see what subjecting me to the same game is hoping to achieve!

I really think I'm justified, but maybe I'm misjudging, AITA for this?

[darkx-the-dragon-kn1ght]

Chapter 49- Part 2

Okay Defog is really good, but I’ll save that one for a rainy day…for now…

I’m not gonna delve into the implications of some of these moves she’s offering, let’s just move on.

Now, there are a few more things I can try and look around at, but there’s a guy over there that I’m guessing is a-

Well, at least he doesn’t have a ton of Pokémon. Crater vs. a Woobat isn’t terrible, let’s try Rock Slide.

Quick Claw is incredible as usual, even if Rock Slide doesn’t one-shot.

Alright, I’ll use Kirin for this one, just so Prong doesn’t get too far ahead of everyone else.

Now let’s see what Crunch can do here!

Nevermind I misclicked on Psychic instead, oops!!

Look it’s fine, I think it’s been well-documented that I can steer and swerve when need be, we’re doing just fine.

But I do think I need to go back up and heal after that fight, but before that I wanna see what’s in this building a bit further down. And if it’s yet another battle, well…it’ll be fine.

Oh, that’s not a Trainer at all, it’s- it’s a recovery machine! And a PC, that’s cool too, but recovery machine!!

Now…they said Luna was taken up to some watering hole, and this area has water in it, so I’m assuming this place is at least connected to it with that ladder over there. Not that we can go any further due to the gates, but…y’know, good to know where this place is to some extent.

Bennett?? Well, I see he got himself a wardrobe change, but I'm still concerned about what he's doing here to begin with…

…buuut I'll follow him in a little bit. I've been eyeing this alley for a little bit now, and I wanna see what's in it!

…Huh. Okay, not what I was expecting, but I'll bite. What are you guys doing down here…?

Mentioning the Aether Foundation is interesting, but that alone doesn't give me much of an idea for what this is all about. Maybe that book there will?

Mayfair Witches S2E3 (Show & Book Spoilers) Pt3: General Sundries

Those effing Talamasca are sleazy AF.

Underrated scene, cuz this is a battle of the psychics--Moira's mind reading is the best of all the Mayfairs--but she ain't got NOTHING on Albrecht, a master manipulator whose mind she CAN'T read. And lemme tell you, this mofo is lying his arse off. Bring Lasher to "justice"!? BULL. CRAP. The Talamasca wanted to HELP Lasher breed with other Taltos--or at least, the rogue members in Europe working with Gordon & co. did. This "safe house" Albrecht says they'll take Lasher to is likely where another Taltos/Mayfair/witch/etc is waiting for him, a la book!Tessa.

And poor Cip. They are STILL skirting around just saying that Lasher is HIS son, too, not just Rowan's, and it's ticking me off. "Eunuch husbands," as usual--only good for being breeding stallions for the witches; then kicked to the curb.

Ok, so they ARE giving him some of Michael's backstory--I pray to GOD they say he's actually a descendant of Julien Mayfair, too! 🙏

Then the Talamasca swoop in like the Men in Black to take Lasher away, and NONE of these DOZENS of witches standing around watching do anything either, like wtf? 😂 This is YOUR "god" being taken away! Rowans LITERALLY laying in the middle of the street!

But Dolly Jean said it best:

SAAAAAAME! 😅 (I am LOVING Dolly Jean's actress; she & Cortland are the best actors on this whole wretched show.)

I have NO idea how Rowan's not behind bars as an accessory to murder or the obstruction of justice or SOMETHING. Lucy's father is better than me, cuz I'd've been on the phone with the cops--WHERE TF IS MY DAUGHTER'S BODY, ROWAN?

Ohhh...you know, out in the frikkin BAYOU getting nommed on by gators or something cuz I covered up that my demonic son raped & killed her--oops? Don't worry, Esta said I made Lucy's death BEAUTIFUL~, so it's okay! 🙄 A mother's love, amirte!? 😅

As usual, Esta, you are dumber than a sack of bricks--or you think WE are. Likely BOTH; Esta proved that YES, AMC thinks/knows that the fandom is willing to let the most heinous ish slide, so long as it's "beautiful." You can't judge this as EVIL, cuz it's PRETTY! 😍

And then Rowan completely fumbles the bag:

She yeets poor Jojo & Daphne into the frikkin shadow realm! 🤦 Like wtf?!

This enthrallment is what Lasher did to Rowan & Cip back in S1 when he forced them to conceive him, and what she did to frozen!Cortland in 2x2; but it's WAY different from the other thrall spells--those girls are GONE. Their bodies are...WHERE?

Neither of them are book characters, and this plotline doesn't exist in the books either, so IDEKWTF is going on, but it's stupid. But I guess Esta needed to give Rowan SOMETHING to do to fix things, now that she's just embarrassed herself with her incompetency in front of the whole family THRICE in the same night. 🤦🤦🤦

But when Lasher actually shows up, she just stands there, useless as a wart on a frog's arse--

--and gets blasted in the face by Cip's sleeping gas! 🤣 I had no idea this show was a COMEDY! 🤦

Jfc they're making Rowan so much more stupid than she was in the books (which is saying something).

Wtvr. I'm watching cuz I wanna see if they namedrop the Taltos, and if we'll get Emaleth, Morrigan, Ashlar, Samuel, book!Tessa, etc. I am NOT here for Rowan, never have been, and I never will be.
